Project started with a reference image found on the internet. Original photographer; unknown.
Modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering and Post-production; all done by me, Yasser Elkhodeiry.
Models are mostly bought from 3dsky.org - the rest are either from 3DArcShop's free furniture models bundle or modeled by myself.
95% of the pieces selected in this scene were originally designed by Restoration Hardware (RH).

The original image (found on a random Google images search) shows only the brick wall with the wooden floor, capturing a very rustic mood without adding any details or furniture to the space - which, on the other hand, made the place look kind of abandoned and lifeless to me! First time I saw it, I thought it would be extremely interesting to see how it would look like if this place was actually a place where someone lives - without drifting away from the very first impression I had when I first saw the original photo, the cozy rustic industrial mood. And THAT was the challenge. 99% of the textures were built from scratch to match the image I had on mind - and that was the part I had fun most.
